Saving Money on Holiday Travel

The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts. 1. However, holiday travel can get expensive fast faster than you can imagine. Fortunately, the following tips will help you keep your travel spending under control.

• Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from flights to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals.2. In fact, many experts point out that you should book travel about one to three months earlier so that you can have more opportunities to find the best deals and you know what you will be doing.

• Book your air travel on cheaper days. Travelling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than travelling on Fridays and Sundays. During the holidays, though, it’s not just about a specific day of the week.3. Days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. If you can adjust your plans so that you can travel on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, you might be able to find an even better deal.

• Consider travelling overnight. Overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times.4. Depending on where you are going, and the options of how to get there, overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.

• 5. You can’t bring liquids with you on the plane, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks. When you’re on the road, you can buy food at local groceries to make your own meals. If you are staying in a hotel for a long time, consider cooking your own food, especially if you have access to a microwave.

A. Bring your own food.

B. Consider affordable accommodations.

C. Booking earlier can also save your money.

D. If you are flying, consider alternative airports.

E. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday.

F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of the year.

G. Other alternatives include sleeper trains, as well as overnight ferries.
